9:00pm......Tower adult flew off the pole, headed to the right past the eaglet there and seemed to disappear into the sky.

9:06pm........There is still an eaglet on the tower...........seems reluctant to go to the trees like its parent did............and Trooper is inside his tower for the night.

Good morning, Jean and Sue. Reading through the posts from last night, I am reminded of how Trooper got his name. Becoming the new mate for Ma at the close of last season, Trooper continued to hang around and take care of the nest and the area. As he was a trooper to take care of business at the end of the season as he is doing now, AME (adult male eagle) became known as Trooper.
“Eagles: When they walk, they stumble. They are not what one would call graceful. They were not designed to walk. They fly. And when they fly, oh, how they fly, so free, so graceful. They see from the sky what we never see.” – Unknown

5:27 am - Good Morning Delta 2! Hi Sandy! Thanks for the memory from last year. It's great to remember how Trooper was named. He sure is hanging in there like last year. I remember the Tower eagles hanging in there a long time last year and thought that may have been part of the reason why Trooper stayed around. I think he eventually did leave before then but seemed very reluctant to do so. We will see if he stays around again today.
I am logging into the cams now.

5:30 am - I think Trooper is still in the center tower
Re: Delta2 2018 -2019 Observation and Discussion Thread
5:34 am - yes, Trooper is there, he has hopped over to the left side now
Re: Delta2 2018 -2019 Observation and Discussion Thread
5:37 am - As I was reloading the E Cam...Trooper again knew I was not watching and flew off from the center tower and is now on the first tower.
Re: Delta2 2018 -2019 Observation and Discussion Thread
5:42 am - the Tower juvie is still on the platform, as they were last night. And it looks like the adult is up top on the spike.
The juvie did a couple wingers and is now on the left side.
Re: Delta2 2018 -2019 Observation and Discussion Thread
5:55 am - we have someone on the distant tower, left of the far right tower
Re: Delta2 2018 -2019 Observation and Discussion Thread
5:59 am - Trooper has moved over to the first pole
Re: Delta2 2018 -2019 Observation and Discussion Thread
6:06 am - I've looked around everywhere and Trooper and the Tower eagles, and that one on the distant tower, are the only ones out there right now that I can see. The Tower eagles are sticking close to each other.
Trooper is still on the first pole
Re: Delta2 2018 -2019 Observation and Discussion Thread
6:09 am - Trooper flew off the first pole...again, when I wasn't looking....but I moved the cam to the evergreen tree and that is where he flew to....lucky me.
Re: Delta2 2018 -2019 Observation and Discussion Thread
6:32 am - Trooper has been looking to the right quite a bit so I decided to look around really good to see what he may be looking at and the only someone I found was an adult on the church cross. Not sure if they have been seen in the last week, but looks like they are still hanging in there too.
